We're WAY overdue for a NELP update. Between the Junior High School Speech Contest, the Kibi Speech Contest, the Debate and Final Exams, I've been really busy.
Here are the latest pictures from NELP:
First, here are the junior high school first graders in a debate. Their topic was We Should Use Handkerchiefs Instead of Tissue. They had a lot to say and did a really great job! I was amazed at how good they were! I wish the people who came to see the June 25th debate could have seen them. They were great!
Here's one of the first graders in grammar class.
Here are the first graders having a discussion.
Here are the second graders having a discussion. They were VERY active. The topic was about school clubs and activities.
Here are the second graders preparing for a debate. The topic was about school uniforms.
Here are pictures from the actual second grade debate. For this debate, we did a freestyle team debate, and during the debate, we even had players switch sides when they changed their position. It was funny!
Here are the third grade students preparing for their debate. Their topic was Seishin Should Have More Elective Classes.
Here are the third grade students actually doing the debate in class. They did a great job!
Here are pictures of the NELP students are the junior high school speech contest.

On June 25th, the High School First Grade Girls performed a debate during the Super Science High School Open Lesson Day.
I was SO proud of the girls. They did SO well. The topic was: Whaling Should Be Banned.
The students really studied hard. They learned a lot about whales, but they also TAUGHT ME a lot about whales.
The first grade students worked so hard and so diligently. I'm proud of them in so many ways, how they showed confidence, how they overcame their fears of speaking in public, of how they took chances and were daring, even in little ways.
I can't so enough how special and how great they are!
We've learned a lot and I'm sure the NELP debate program is really going to grow and improve in the coming year.
